For Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson, not all blowout victories are the same at this time of the season. The top-ranked Nittany Lions, as expected, manhandled American 50-3 on Friday night at Rec Hall to finish their regular season with a 15-0 mark.

University Park— One Penn State wrestling star who’s been banged up for the past month didn’t wrestle against American Friday night, another did and coach Cael Sanderson explained why after the 50-3 win.

The No. 1 Penn State wrestling program, battered a bit by injury and illness, appears to be trending toward full-strength status for the upcoming postseason. The undefeated Nittany Lions (14-0) have missed three starters recently from their record-setting lineup for various causes.

Another regular season has come and gone for Penn State’s wrestling team, with the same results. Another unblemished mark, making it five consecutive years without a single dual loss. American University was the Nittany Lions’ counterpart Friday night in a dual that Penn State’s wrestlers dominated in a 50-3 Senior Night rout.
